EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Noticing that
some OF the comrades are contending for the
honor Of having belonged TO the regiment or
company which first responded 10 the call of
the President for troops in lsGl, thought the
action of company in the old Bay State

January, 1861, Gov. Andrew, OF Massachusetts,.
issued an order for the more perfect organiza.
tion Of the State troops, and 10 ascertain what
number of its members would respond 10 a call
from the General Government which it was
anticipated would soon be made. On the 23d

hill, held a meeting in their armory, which
was fully attended. aud by unanimous vote

Her Husband Made Fun of IL.

Some people value remedies according as 10
whether they are frightful in appearance or
nauseOus to the taste. When such folks hear
about Compound Oxygen, and learn that il is
something not TO be swallowed but simply to
be inhaled, and that there is no unpleasant
taste or odor with it, they have no idea that it
can do any good.
A Montana lady who had been troubled with
lung disease and bad cough, writes her expe-
rience:
any husband Is very favorably impressed
with the Oxygen. and is willing for me 10 take
another Treatment. He at first made fun oft,
as so much water bottled up, but he don't think
that now."
When we come to inquire why the husband
stopped making fun of Compound Oxygen We
find it in what the lady says of her improve
ment.
"I am feeling fifty per ceat. better than when ]
commenced taking OIgyea indeed, / would think
was in perfect health but for the slight cough
and occasional pain in my lung. My appetite

mixed as 10 the battle Of Burnt Hickory. In
justice 10 the First Brigade, Third Division,

version Of the above battle as taken from my

We were lying on the battle-line at AllatOona
Mountain FROM Thursday, May 26, 1864, until
Thursday, June 2 We were on the left wing
and bad been doing some heavy fighting the
past seven days The evening before-June
"a division Of the Fourteenth Corps moved
into our position, and we moved out about
mile aud campcd for the night The next
morning about7 O'Clock we started and marched
TO the left about three miles, stopped for ORDERS
fell in line Of battle, and, marching through
very thick underbrush, before we were aware
Of il, ran into the cncmys lines. The Adiu-
tant-General OF Gen. Cox's staff was shot
through the breast.
At this time il commenced raining very hard,
and the First Brigade was ordered 10 make a
charge. The men fixed bayOnets, aud with a
yell started for the rebels and drove them out
Of their works under q heavy fire of musketry
and across an opening 10 their second line of
works We could not get any position for our
artillery, SO We threw up light line of works
at the foot Of the hill. We had a number
wounded and killed on this charge. The Lieu
tenant-Colonel Of the Sth Tenn. was badly
shocked by the bursting Of a she'll close 30 his
head, and The writer helped carry him from
the field 10 the rear hospital about a mile.
The rebels were trying 10 work around our

on the battle Of Burnt Hickory. / am of the
opinion that neither the Fourth nor Fourteenth

"PODUNKSBURG."
The yeraeity aud vaIor Of "Cui Bono" Vigorously
AsSailed.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: It has always
been mystery TO me how man who claims
to have been in the thickest of a battle, where
the smoke was so dense that you could punch a
hole in it, can after % years, write up every
detail of the fight, giving the position of all the
troops, the moment when each General arrived
on the field, and what he said and did. When
ever / read such articles feel like exclaiming,
" ] am somewhat of liar myself"
The worst case j have come across lately was
the Battle of Podunksburg," by Cui Bono"
Now, he must not think he was the only troops
that were there / would have him under
stand the lst Ark. Cannon Company took a
hand in that scrimmage, and i had the honor
TO be Seventh Corporal Of that company. In
the first place, he says that Gen. Peacock ar
rived on the battlefield during the night. Now
/ was in position to know that he didn't do
anything of the kind, as he didn't get up until
after breakfast the next morning, when he fol-
lowed our cannon company to the front and
ordered us to take our guns onto RaccOon Ridge
aud plant them behind a stump. Shortly after
We got into position was detailed to go TO the
rear and watch for stragglers and as il was left
TO my own discretion how far back should go,
/ concluded that the farther back ! went the
moro stragglers i would find.
"Cui Bono" says that about p. m. Gen. Won
Unocber arrived on the field and ordered him
five PAGES to the front. Now, that's all gas for
the same General came up TO where was about
3 p. m, aud i stopped him and told him had
strict orders not to allow any one to 90 up to tine
front. He said he was very sorry, as he always
led his troops into the fight, and he was afraid
the thing would be a complete failure if he was
not there 10 inspire his men. / told him
knew il was the custom, at least with all the
Generals ! hal fought under, to strike out
ahead and swing their hats and say, Come on,
boys!" but thought that what we gained in
inspiration We lost in shooting. as We had to
shoot high to keep from killing our own Gen
erals. While We were talking we saw a soldier
tearing to the rear at breakneck speed, and
when he got close enough / stopped him and
saw he was badly demoralized. l asked him
where he belonged. He said to the 10th Osh-
kOsh, and said his name was "Cui Bono."-

Evan Grifiths Co. III, 5th Ohio Cav, Vera
Cruz, Mo-, cannot see any reason why many in
valid pensioners receive so much less than
others for the same grade Of disability. He
thinks the pension laws are in bad shape and
should be readjusted.
F. l.. Parish, Co. G., 18th Iowa, Ravanna,
Mo-, having seen accounts of warehouses that
have been so well taken care Of expresses the
opinion that the disabled veterans of the war
are more deserving than horses. He thinks the
Government has failed to redeem its pledges to
its defenders.
Henry Zimmerman. Co. 3, 96th Pa, Pine
Grove, Pa, complains that many people in that
place don't treat the soldiers as they deserve to
be treated. and insult them by stigmatizing
them as lazy pensioners upon the Government,
living upon the charity OF the people.
J. j. Amber Co. +. 18th VT, Wapello, Iowa,
does not approve the proposition to ask Con-
gress to provide a medal to be given to ex-pris-
oners Of war. The writer would be glad to see
medals given to all soldiers, but ne sees no rea-
son why any one class should be selected for
the honor.
Benjamin Manley, Warsaw, Ind, expresses
very strong views of the injustice in the treat
ment of the soldiers by the Government in the
matter of pensions and bounties
Samuel Miller, Butler, Pa, thinks it very
unjust that many soldiers who fought so long
and nobly at the front are unable to get PEN
sions because they have no hospital record. He
says he has always been q Democrat, but will
not vote for Cleveland again.
NJ. j. Clerihan, Co. B, 10th ILL.,, Woodson, H.,
writes at considerable length on the subject of
pensions showing the sacred nature of the OBJ
legations which rest upon the Government to
care for those who were disabled in its defense.
He protests. however, against wholesale PEN
siOning, including men who suffer from disease
resulting from their vicious habits. He says
there are many such, and they do not deserve
to receive pensions. He hopes that all worthy
ones will receive full justice.

William Webbie, Co. G., 7Cth N Y, Mendon,
Mich, says that Gen. John G. Robinson, in his
article on the First Corps at Gettysburg, should
have said the 10Th n. Y. instead of Goth. He
says the 10th was at the head of the column on
the morning of July l, and was the first to be-
come engaged on the knoll near the Seminary.
The writer received two wounds early in the
fight He says the 10Th lost nearly 300 men.
Jno. w. Bruce, Second Lieutenant, Co. X, 7th
Wis, Merrill Wis, was much pleased with Gen.
Robinson's article of the First Corps at Gettys-
burg. The General, however, omitted some of
the regiments of Meredith's Brigade. The
writer says the 9th and 7th Wis. were there,
and also the 10Th Iud. No history of the battle
can be complete without an account of the GAL
liant fight made by the First Corps during the
afternoon of the first day. Forced to fall back
by overwhelming numbers, it contested every
inch OF ground. The writer was wounded and
left the field, and saw the havoc which the
mea of the First Corps made in the enemy's
ranks.

The incorporators of the Laramie Elec-
trio, Gas Light and Fuel company have
increased the capitol of the concern to
$4,000. 1t was originally $50, 900, was
afterwards elevated to $40, 900. The last
increase is made for the payment of their
debts and liabilities, which amount to
$1,000 and to furnish a working capital in
order to secure the necessary surplus
stock of coal. house-wiring materials,
dynamos, ETC., and to pay expenses incl
dent to extending the present service.
The Pioneer Townsite company, a cor
poration organized in the state of Ne
braska in the interest OF the North
western, has filed a certified copy of its
articles of incorporation in Secretary
Shannon's Office. From this move it is evil
dent that the concern contemplates rams
acting business in the territory. The OBJ.
jects of the organization are stated to be
the buying, selling and dealing in lands
in the state of Nebraska and other states
and territories where it may lawfully
transact such business. They will also
endeavor to promote the settlement and
occupation of lands coming into their
possession. The capital stock is placed
at SIS. 900, divided into shares valued at

Thieves attempted to enter a boarding
house on West Sixteenth street three
times Wednesday night The proprietress
was absent upon the occasion of their first
visit, when the providers thoroughly but
unsuccessfully searched the house for
some money which they evidently knew
was hidden about the place.
Later a gentleman who was awaiting
the return of the thieves fired two shots
at a man whom he observed endeavoring
to enter the house through a window.
AS the visitor left the neighborhood at a
lively gait it is presumed that the lead
was wasted.
At l:3O o'clock in the morning one of
the roomers pursued the persistent thieves
for over a block but lost sight of them in
a dark alley.
Had the thieves been successful in their
raid they would have secured about $40
in cash.

A Missouri Gentleman Says the Industry
Would Pay Well In This Country.

Il am unable to understand" said a
Missouri horse and mule raiser yesterday
in conversation with a Wyoming stock
man, why you folks don't grow a few
mules every year. A good jack can be
bought for $1,000 to $1,000. His get,
when grown will always be marketable at
profitable figures. Everyone who is at all
familiar with the business will tell you
that with any sort of management there
is more money in mules than in horses.
They are harder, mature earlier and
bring better prices, A horse is market
able at four years, a mule at three. The
long-eared creatures will grow fat on poor
ranges where the more intelligent animals
will starve to death.
Then again a mule can be broken to
either harness or saddle much easier than
a horse. Many of the latter are COM
pletely ruined in the breaking process.
Thousands of Kentucky, Maryland. Vir-
ginia and Missouri mules are annually ex-
ported to Cuba and other tropical chimes.
They are the only beast of burden that
can withstand the excessive heat of equa-
torial countries. Mules are used exclu
sively on the Panama canal. The United
States government buys a great many
mules every year. They grew into favor
as saddle animals during the war. Though
of course not speedy, they are as a rule
docile, and possess great qualities of en-
durance. Had the struggle continued a
year longer a majority of the cavalrymen
would have been mounted upon the
patient creatures.
You can take my word for it that
man who can gain possession of 100 head
of mares, two or three graded Jacks and a
good ranch almost any place in Wyoming
will make a fortune inside of six years"
